Treatment of Skin Conditions

Medical dermatology is the treatment of skin conditions, such as acne scars, psoriasis, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, skin cancer, keloids, and cysts. The many different skin conditions people suffer all have their own causes and symptoms. Treatments vary widely depending on the condition. A medical dermatologist will be able to accurately diagnose your condition and help form the best treatment plan for your unique situation. Contour Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center has many available solutions that include laser therapy, surgical removal, or medicines depending on your diagnosis.*

Medical dermatology focuses on the health of the skin by correcting abnormalities. Your skin’s appearance will improve. Dr. Timothy Jochen and the expertly trained staff at Contour Dermatology takes the utmost care to minimize scarring and treat the skin with the most effective methods available.*

Contour Dermatology uses the latest techniques to treat skin conditions. Laser therapy, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, photodynamic laser therapy and fractionated CO2 laser therapy are some of the techniques we use to treat acne.*

Acne scars can be treated by a process called photodynamic rejuvenation. Moles, birthmarks, rosacea and scars typically respond well to laser therapy. Moles may be removed as a preventative measure against skin cancer.

In addition to common skin conditions, we detect and treat skin cancer. By monitoring moles and other unusual growths on the skin, we can identify skin cancer early and design a treatment plan. Skin cancer can typically be cured when caught early on, which is why it’s so important to consult a dermatologist quickly after finding an abnormal rash, bump or scar.

We are nationally recognized for our Mohs Micrographic Surgery, a precise skin cancer treatment that has a high rate of success. Mohs surgery removes the skin cancer layer by layer. When tissue is removed, it is examined under a microscope until the cancer-free tissue is reached. The careful examination of the tissue layers helps ensure the complete removal of skin cancer.*

Using the latest medical dermatology treatments, Contour Dermatology can improve the health and quality of life of patients living with uncomfortable or unsightly skin disorders. We have the most comprehensive lasers in Southern California. Our wide range of treatments means we can customize a treatment plan for your specific needs.
